Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

Release Sonam Wangchuk

 

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) strongly condemns the arrest of Sonam
Wangchuk, who has been at the forefront of the movement demanding statehood
for Ladakh and its inclusion under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution.
His detention under the draconian National Security Act exposes the
authoritarian character of the BJP-led central government and its contempt
for the genuine aspirations of the people of Ladakh.

 

Instead of honouring the promises it made to the people of Ladakh, the
government has chosen to resort to repressive measures to suppress the
democratic movement there. This constitutes a grave attack on the
fundamental rights and democratic freedoms of the people of Ladakh. Such
actions will only deepen the alienation of the people of Jammu & Kashmir,
including Ladakh.

 

The CPI(M) demands the immediate release of Sonam Wangchuk, the
unconditional withdrawal of all cases foisted on the people, full protection
of democratic and constitutional rights, the prompt acceptance of the
movement's just demands, and above all Ladakh's inclusion under the Sixth
Schedule.
